Another "what's it worth" thread.
I'm kicking around the idea of selling my car and upgrading. It's a babied garage queen.
2006, 3LT, optional polished wheels, 6-speed, daytona sunset orange coupe. 28K miles and bone stock.
I'm the 3rd owner. I have all the service records with the history and a clean carfax.
Thank you.

Add 3 reputable sources & divide by 3 for an average close to reality, given present market.
BTW preowned Corvette market's high right now.
Car sounds clean, well loved/cared for putting it on the high end, especially if tires/pads/discs are solid.
Sounds ideal for someone who knows you & is familiar w/it considering its history, alone.

Go on Carvana and get a free, no obligation quote. Compare that to what KBB and others say it's worth and figure if you wait around long enough you might get somewhere in that range or if you find the right buyer, you'll get the max. If you have no mods, you don't have to worry about losing that money. I looked at values on mine and figured out what I should ask for it and then determined the minimum I would take for it - then I went on Carvana and they offered only a couple hundred bucks short of what I would have taken and I don't have to deal with the online ad trolls, tire kickers, and joy riders.

^ That makes the $25k estimate above seem realistic for a reasonably quick private party sale.

Never really understood why so many ask this question on the forum, when there are so many sources available online that will tell you, trade in value retail and privates sales value. There are te omline sourse that will give you a price based on what you tell them or what they asked. If all that falls take it to Carmax and see what they will give you. The only problem with Carmax, CarGuru, WeBuyAny Car, is they will give you less then you will get if you sell it yourself. The only other reason for this question is people want others to do the work.

^ Don't know what "many sources" you're referring to, but kbb says pp sale is $22k-$25k, nada is $18k retail(!), and black book is $28k retail. What number do you go with?
